It's very impressive that it ran a 1:40.x around Laguna Seca which is a couple ticks faster than where the 2006 z06 came in. The Mustang MUST be good, but its 500 lbs heaver than the z06, higher CG, and a lot less HP. I don't think these times are an apples to apples comparison.
I think the time similarities come down to better tires and an amazing driver in the Mustang. Anytime a mfr. flies in a driver, you know it's going to be a fast time. Not trying to take anything away from the Mustang and I seriously want one, I'm just realistic in that I don't expect to go to my local track days and seeing Boss's keeping pace with z06's in the actual track day environment.
Once the comparisons come out, we will know better how good it actually is. I hope I eat crow and this car is actually as fast as the 1:40 time indicates.
